Groningen opens new Centre for East Asian Studies
 The Centre for East Asian Studies Groningen (CEASG) was launched this month to formulate and coordinate an East Asian Studies programme at the University of Groningen.
Positioned at the Faculty of Arts, with active participation of four other faculties and Globalisation Studies Groningen, CEASG focuses on contemporary developments in China, Japan, Korea and Mongolia.
CEASG's first assignment is to launch a Master programme East Asian Studies in September 2014 (60 ECTS), and initiate the establishment of four Chairs on Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Mongolian Studies. The first two such Chairs are to be appointed shortly. CEASG plans to convene a launch seminar on East Asian Studies when all four Chairs are in place.
The launch of CEASG is part of the University's increased focus on East Asia. The University already operates study centres in Shanghai, Beijing and Osaka, and hosts the Confucius Institute Groningen, the Osaka University Representative Office and the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Korea.
The launch of CEASG and the Chair for East Asian Studies, in particular modern day Mongolia, are supported by a number of sponsors including ING Bank.

Arrival of new Chinese PhDs
The GSG has welcomed the arrival of Ms Bin Jiang and Ms Yingruo Wang in early September to start their PhD studies. Ms Jiang from the China Agricultural University, and Ms Wang from Zhengzhou University, have started a four-year study fully funded by the China Scholarship Council. Their studies relate to China-Africa development cooperation and the role of Chinese NGOs in environmental management, which fits with the GSG's PhD Hub as an inter-faculty and interdisciplinary initiative aimed at coordinating and creating synergies among all the PhD trajectories of the university. More arrivals of Chinese PhDs are expected given GSG's continuous engagement with Chinese universities and the China International PhD Workshop on 30 November-1 December 2013 in Beijing.
